You were abandoned, neglected, or lived without boundaries.
Its an old story, but its one that your body and mind re-experience daily.
And you keep replaying it as an adult; it just looks different.
W A T A R I
You dont know it yet, or someone has told you to get over it because it wasnt trauma.
The #metoo movement has permitted us to speak on the abuses weve faced individually and collectively.
Your parent placed high demands on you that were simply inappropriate for your age.
Your parent rarely or never spent quality time with you.
You didnt know if your parent was your parent or friend because they never set rules with you.
If they did, they didnt hold you accountable to them.
You lived without any structure in the home and did what you pleased.
You may have heard stop overreacting, or youre so sensitive, get over it.
You were either too skinny or too fat, never just right.
You were often mocked for your personality or humiliated in front of your friends or your peers.
Your parent often argued with you or even competed with you to keep control over you.
Our inner child, or rather the younger self, doesnt vanish once we become an adult.
Its always there inside each of us reacting when we get triggered as an adult.
When we respond from the wounded place, life gets messy.
Most of all, it blocks our ability to obtain success.
